Ur

Ur, Uruz, the wild ox, aurochs. The second rune in the alphabet. Ur carries the sound for U and comes after Fehu, the domestic cow, and before Thorn, the rune which represents the Giants and the hammer of Thor. Ur is also a lower chakra rune. In the eastern system of energy where seven wheels relate to points on our spines, the lower chakras are dark, red, and fiery and connected to sexuality, willfulness, and basic needs. Ur speaks to these qualities.
